Between August 6th to 2nd September I'm taking part in a show at The Blue Duck Gallery in Caversham, Reading. There are a few other local artists taking part such as Sue Mundy, JoJo Jewellery, Cathy Newell Price and more. I'll have some of my new wall pieces on show, if you do visit let me know what you think. I've also been busy with other things as well as setting up a new mailing list. If you

It's been a busy few months organising Caversham Arts Trail as well as frantically making enough stock for the trail and other shows. Caversham Arts Trail starts on 7th May. This year there are 32 artists at 15 venues across Caversham so it's set to be an interesting trail. Download a map here. I'm venue 7 and I've got two guests joining me, Jules Hogan and Machi de Waard. Jules makes lovely

 I've been busy working on some new designs. I wanted to create some wall art so I've been experimenting with leaves in frames. The ones on the left are cast from a real leaf I took a mould of and the ones on the right are stylised leaves. They are both porcelain but the cast ones are very thin, just a millimetre or so and the others rolled out porcelain clay so they are about 5 millimetres thick

Life has been pretty hectic lately and there is no sign of it calming down any time soon. I suppose really I love this time of year and should make the most of being so busy. After Christmas we sure are going to need a holiday, unless the snow keeps us stuck at home again. A month ago we went to visit some friends in Newquay and spend one night of luxury in at the Scarlet Hotel, in Mawgan Porth,

I've been busy trying out some new ideas and this is a sneak preview of one of them.

I've been thinking about Christmas lately and have been making these baubles as well dishes that stack inside each other. I've also finished some new coloured coasters too. It's so exciting trying out new colours and textures but frustrating having to wait for two days for my kiln to fire and cool down before i can open it. I'm always tempted to have a quick look before it's cooled down enough

A while ago I posted some photos of some new round button coasters that I'd just made. I've now glazed them and listed them in my shops. These are denim blue and the next batch due out of the kiln will be green. There are also a few other patterns and new colours too which will be launched for Christmas.

I tried some felt making at our venue at Bucks Open Studios last weekend, it was fab. This is my creation, a felt bowl. I loved making it and I am super pleased with the result. I've also been making some new coasters, buttons and brooches with a button pattern. They are quite cute, I like the round ones lots. It's been a busy week, I also won an advert on I Love Handmade that showcases

On Friday we went to the private view of venue 13 of the Henley Arts Trail. There was so much lovely handmade work there I had to treat myself to a few things.I'd seen this on Beady Pool's facebook page a few weeks ago and rather liked it so I quickly snapped it up.

I've been elephant spotting today. Has anyone else seen the decorated elephants that aim to raise support for the Asian elephant, which is threatened with extinction? I only saw two and could only photograph one as there was a dude sitting on the other one which would have ruined the photo, I wish I had asked him to move now. This one was amazing, it had lots of little circular mirrors on it.

It is less than a week until the first Caversham Arts Trail starts and I've been busy cleaning my studio ready for visitors. I think I may have cleaned it too much so I'm going to have to make a few things this week or it will look like I don't really use it. The Caversham Arts Trail starts on Saturday 8th May and continues on Sunday 9th May, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th May. All venues are open

There is nothing more exciting than opening the door to the kiln to see what treasures it holds. I hate having to wait for two days for it to cool down but it's usually worth it.

I'm not a trained photographer and sometime take hundreds of shots before getting the right one.

Thanks to those of you who were able to attend,

It's the second and last day of the South Hill Park Craft fair today. One quick post before i head off. Yesterday was a really good day, met loads of lovely people and had many returning customers too. It's the fifth year I've done this craft fair and i have to say it's one of my favourites. The quality of work is very high and the whole place has a lovely relaxed feel to it. If you're in

If you are a regular reader of my blog you will probably remember the cupcake case tea light holders i’ve been making. I’ve got a joint venture with a very talented friend (Jan) who has transformed the ceramic cases into pin cushions, isn’t she clever. This is the first batch, some are listed in my folksy and NOTHS shops. More coming soon.

Here are the cupcake holders i got out of the kiln earlier this week. I've been testing out muffin cases too but prefer the cupcake ones. This time of year i often find i'm having one mad rush after another. Usually after nearly selling out of xmas decorations at every show i spend every night of the next week making more, this year i'm trying to prepare for the Christmas rush. This is this years

My new shop has been launched. I've finally joined Not on The High Street .com. Check out my shop here . I've still got my other shops and will be adding more items over the next few weeks. Here is a quick preview of what is in my NOTHS shop. It's a great site with loads of products to choose from, just remember they're not all handmade so look carefully if you want something that is.

I've been busy glazing cup cakes this week. I will be getting the next batch out of the kiln later so watch this space. I stayed with a friend a few weekends ago and we visited some venues as part of London Open House. There were so many to choose from and after seeing a mile queue outside the Bank of England we chose to seek out venues less unknown that didn't have huge queues.Our first stop was

It's been a busy day today. I made this! It's a ring shaped vase, some will have more holes and others will have just one. It's a miracle it came out of the mould but I'm glad I persevered with it. I'm quite excited about finishing it.The vase above came out of the mould below that I made about a year ago and hadn't had much success with getting a whole piece out of it. By the laws of mould

How cool are these? Not sure what i am going to do with them yet but i love them. I acquired them from family, well really i intercepted them, they were on their way to the charity shop but i couldn't let them go. ( i think they are buckles!)

What a weekend! We headed down to Reading Festival as it's only about half an hour from our house which means we don't have to camp, yeah! This is what we got up to, ate, drank, got dusty and watched some bands. Check out the giant yorkshire pudding, it's the size of a plate.

Last week I went over to visit Alice, Caroline and Penny at their venue as part of Hampshire Open Stuidos. This Saturday (22nd August) is their last day and I highly recommend visiting them. Their venue is very welcoming with a really friendly atmosphere and lots of space to browse. You can see Alice doing a wet felting demo between 1pm and 4pm, it's well worth it. I want to go again this weekend

It's been a busy weekend. I managed to spend some time making pots, visiting an open studios event, make some homemade soup and buy a new car!These are the pots I'm currently working on. They are the same mould as the button pots i make but they've got a row of texture on instead of buttons. I made some prototypes earlier in the year and they had a good response so I'm building up some stock for

I love the tin, and there are some lovely buttons, some so nice i don't want to use them. On the way home I went to visit my other Nan and she gave me some freshly cut lavender.

I have spent loads of time online shopping this week but only have two things to show for the hours I've spent on folksy and other online stores.

I thought it would be interesting to share some workspaces of the lovely creative folk that I’ve been chatting to on folksy.com lately. Also wanted to share my workspaces too, I think it's nice as a maker to be able to see where other makers work as well as buyers getting an insight into the life of the maker.Thanks to everyone who took part.
